I was gonna say damn Lucas is a spaz with how fast he shoots, then I realized my playback speed was still at 1.25x from the thermodynamics videos I was watching and even after going to 1x, not much changed
For a moment this really confused me, then I remembered, ammo capacity limits...dumb gun control laws that don't even work because bad guys just buy the stuff anyways if it's available.
Yup. 1R1's just induce a training scar. Reloads are either intentional or emergent. If it's emergent, you're not expecting it by definition, so you should not expect it in training. 1R1's don't help because you're expecting to reload after 1 round so you never train a reflex. I found the best way to train reloads is to just load random amounts in different magazines. Anywhere from 25-30 or 2-5, depending on what I'm doing.
Same. When I go shooting with friends I usually ask one of them to fill my magazines with a random round count form anywhere between 3 and 10 rounds (ammo is still kinda expensive). Once you're familiar with your weapon you can kinda tell when your magazines start to run dry. In my case, the buffer tube starts to sound different.
Exactly. Idk when it changed, but that's how I was trained when I was coming up. 1R1 drills are only good for one thing- building the muscle memory for reloading. People focus on the drill while forgetting what the overall intention is- improving preformance *IN THE FIGHT.* If all your doing is 1R1 drills, then you'll look great on TH-cam, but when push comes to shove, you're going to choke. You don't rise to the occasion, you fall to the level of your training. It's the main reason I've never taken 3 gun comps seriously. Range work is great, but unless you are also applying it practically, you're only getting half the benefit.
I usually randomize how many rounds are in a given mag, and work from there. Could be 1, could be 5, could be 15 or even full. When you work from a set number every time, you build the muscle memory for that amount of rounds. Subconsciously, you start counting how many rounds are left and prepping for that LRHO. In a real fight, especially if you've been doing tac reloads the whole time, you're not going to have that full mag all the time, nor are you going to be able to hold that count all the time, every time. Randomizing the round count during training will help break that mental prep, and simulate the surprise and chaos of an actual fight. Especially if you time it for added pressure. You might be in the middle of engaging a set of targets and you run dry... do you switch to your sidearm to finish the set, or do you reload right then and there? Either is viable, and both have pros as well as cons. 1R1 drills are only useful for building muscle memory. They have almost no practical application by themselves. People get to locked into doing these drills and forget the overall picture- increasing your performance in order to be more effective in the fight. It's the same dichotomy that appears in martial arts- training form over function, and vice versa. If you can't apply it practically, then why make it your focus?
@@masonhales You won't be able to tell the exact number of rounds left in your mag. To do this - you would need to count each shot which you won't be able to do in stress-heavy-environment. Sure - you can release mag and assess by its weight that you are at half or about to run out but you will never be able to tell the exact number of bullets left.
The only use I have for 1R1 is dry firing. Nailed it on the head, you subconsciously get ready only for one round then a reload. At least I have. I always get a buddy to load two mags. Both having a random amount at 5 or less then I do a Mozambique reload.
The content of this channel has always been informative and inspirational to me. This is probably the most beneficial video ive seen. I love t rex arms and support the crew because of the level of humbleness and honesty that is packaged with all the advice and info they give. Thanks Lucas and team.
It's still practicing reloads. Most people aren't going to be able to round count under stress. They're gonna shoot till the mag runs empty. If you're counting rounds to do your reloads, then you're focusing on the wrong things while firing.

I’m new to this channel, but found this incredibly helpful. Watched the video and immediately went out for 5r5’s on single targets, double, and NVG. WOW, I got much better! Thank you for these awesome tips!
Training tip: Set a total number of target hits and have your magazines loaded by a buddy with the exact amount of ammo but an unknown round count per magazine. This will help you learn to feel bolt or slide lock and keep you from anticipating the reload.
Hello everyone!! These drills are extremely beneficial and important thanks for sharing. I live in the urban area of Philadelphia and as a 235 certified security agent these drills are great!!! Thanks again!!!
Thanks for this great demo. It was my first on the range shooting an AR15 last week Saturday. We went through more than 6 hours (less 1 hour for lunch) on gun safety and learning how to disassemble and clean including our State and city laws. I was amazed how little I knew about: handling, trigger pull, sighting, types of ammo, etc. At the end of the day, my instructor said he was very impressed with my groupings from 25 yards to 50 yards. I hope one day to get to this level proficiency, expert tactical shooting, and marksmanship.
@@jakedistlehorst6190 most assuredly is. but its almost never a 1 to 1 ration shots to hits. if im dumping ammo at a target to keep there head down while my buddy moves up, i am not expecting to hit anything and rapid reloading is critical. i hope to hit my target but most assuredly not expected. on the other hand... i hope to god i never have to do that.

When i first bought my rifle, i had to do the basic 1r1, because everything was foreign to me. The bolt release, the mag release etc. I think its important fundamentally to get myself familiarized with the rifle. Or even transitions.
Lucas, Thanks for all of your advice, from all your videos !!! What a Humble Man You Are ; to help some of us from the 1R1’s , n teaching us better ways that you came up with, to make sure we concentrate on the shooting aspects n it makes so much sence , n makes it more fun !!! Your closing comments about being creative with your training , is also great advice !!!! Thanks again Patrick from Commy Ct. !!!! 😷💥🔫
I love this!! I Definitely need to practice ALL OF IT! Great stuff man 👍🏻 I also dig those 4 runners in the background 😉 keep up the great videos Lucas. I have watched your older pistol shooting videos multiple times. Especially the one on “how to shoot a piston in 10 minutes” easily watched it more then a dozen times 😂
I like the concept of the drills. I’ve done 1R1 for carbine and pistol in the past.One thing for me is not always ending the drill with going to safe and dismounting carbine or going to holster for pistol,but going to trigger reset first.
Couldve used this video sooner! I was just out in the woods this afternoon, but when I do reloads, i use one mag w/ 2 rounds, and keep a full 30 round mag on my person. So I'll shoot a controlled pair, reload, and shoot another controlled pair. Thanks for posting this, very educational, learned something the Marines never taught me.
I really like the idea of 2R4. Still keeps the round count low and you get a bit of recoil control before the reload (you had time to get a good grip setting up) and a decent amount of recoil control after trying to get the next mag in and maybe not enough time to get the best grip
I run drills like these in buddy shoots with unknown quantities in the magazines plus some snap caps introduced randomly. It turns the speed test into a functional drill to actually assess if the platform is actually in need of a reload instead of simply counting x trigger pulls to a reload.
I just have a big bag full of mags all loaded to random capacities, and some with snapcaps seeded randomly into them. So as I'm shooting at any time I can either run dry, and reload, or have a "malfunction" and have to tap/ rack ECT and also make sure to properly identify the issue. Not counting any actual malfunctions that may occur (pretty rare tho, hence the setups for them) Some mags may have 29, some may have 21 or 14 or even only 5-6 so it's entirely random and those reloads just pop up randomly. Works well for me, helps with processing and diagnosing problems ect
Those are some great drills right there. Just wish I had a range like that out here vs static benches. Stuck with the back yard airsoft range and dry fire for now.
IF (middle word in life) you aren't counting your rounds and chamber goes empty ..... slingshot or slide / bolt release is a factor of time. As well dummy rounds simulating a jam or piss poor primer should be factored into training muscle memory speed skills in my experience . Great video....
Probably a dumb request, but it would be cool to have a video going through some dry-fire exercises. I know its probably easy to explain, but its always nice to have a visual to go with it.
Great video! Always like seeing what you have. I’ve been going to 3 R 3 on both pistol and rifle. And with the cost of ammo I started using .22lr. Something else to use is airsoft or BB guns. You don’t have the recoil, but it’s good for sight alignment and trigger control.
This channel provides some of the best fainant details on building the proper neurological pathways for performance shooting. This is the process to The Craft of a professional shooter broken down to these fundamentals. Processing information, Running the gun, movement, and shooting with a harmonious balance between speed and accuracy while checking all work through yours sights (calling your shot) with consequences for a miss. So take notes.
Old video. But new to me. Since I am just now becoming a fan of T.REX. Anyways, what exactly are we training for? If my top priority is magazine changes for self defense then I might want to move to a safer place. I guess what I am getting at is; If I have 15 to 20 + pistol rounds and 20 to 30 rifle rounds. My training will be focused on ending the threat before needing a fresh magazine. Having said that I will still find time to train magazine changes. It will just be a very low priority. But God help us if America becomes that bad, I need to train on using more ammo.
I think your overall point is valid and well received. The 1R1 drill is really meant to be a specialized tool practicing a very niche specific technique and not anything more than that. If people are taking it as more than that then there's a problem. I Do think it has a purpose and I think You're applying the technique in the wrong circumstances which is in part why you seem to think the drill is not useful. Recall that this is practicing an emergency reload. Emergency reloads are conducted under duress and in exigent circumstances where time is of the utmost importance. The more proximate a threat is, and the more precise their fires, the more exigent the circumstance. If a threat is at 100 or 200 or 300 yards, there's no reason to use this technique. Unless exposed in the open or taking extremely precise fire as previously stated. So your criticisms of the drill not allowing you to practice good marksmanship and control are somewhat misguided. If you're in a fight that affords you the time to be extremely precise, then you have the time to use a different reload technique. This technique is for the fight where you have no time. Your other criticism seems to be that when conducting this drill at full speed you didn't get a proper grip on the follow-up shots. It would seem that that means the drill does not ingrain or give you the chance to practice good marksmanship. That's not necessarily the case either. If you're moving so quickly in the drill that you aren't maintaining good control over your weapon in the name of beating the timer, then you're moving too fast, period. That's not a problem with the technique that's a problem with you. I think the emergency reload drill is an important thing to practice and it zeros in on a very precise skill. It shouldn't be done to excess or neglecting other drills that combine multiple techniques. But it also should be understood in the correct light and not judged based on situations and circumstances that it was not meant to be used in.
When I was in MARSOC we did something similar we would run a double tap drill with 3 targets different distance while moving back and forth between 3 postions. We would load each other's mags with a random amount of ammo and dummy rounds. It forces you to deal with random events
The key is to never have a problem with other people and just hone you’re own skills, unless you see something dangerous happening and then by all means save a life yo
Music at the end made me think of a new dynamic in some modern-day military game: have an enemy that your squad regularly engage with on battlefields, and he eventually picks off your teammates over the course of the game that you've 'bonded' with. Would make it very personal and intense, rather than some nebulous string-puller 'man behind the curtain' enemy you only interact with once.

Pausing at 13:20 to comment, would marching band foot technique, rolling the foot, help with stability while walking/moving and shooting? Heel-toe? I'm interested to try it.
As a LEO in South East Texas my nears back up is at least 10 mins away, so I carry a PMAG60 as my primary magazine for my patrol rifle and l have a standard PMAG with a TTI extended mag on my duty belt, I have extended TTI mag extensions for my duty mags. In my opinion TTI mag extensions make a great tool for reloads and carrying extra ammunition. As the firearms instructor for my department l convinced the department to carry extended magazines on duty.
sick video. I like the take on 5r5. Something interesting to me though is Lucas driving home having proper stock placement and guys like Mike Glover saying it doesn’t matter
You really want proper stock placement, but pretty often times you won't be able to get it. Same as good stance. Strive to do it correctly, but sometimes out gotta make do without
Exactly right. If you want, do some 1r1 to get the fluidity of the reload down, but there's no need to run it every range session. If you're training as much as you should you get PLENTY of chances to train emergency reloads. But NEVER forget the tactical importance of the tactical reload!
Take your mags load varying amounts into each, drop them all in a bag and shake it about. You now have a genuine reload training aid because you have no idea when that mag will run dry, you don’t get to preempt the reload and having to make multiple follow up shots will force you to adapt to go back to proper grip. Of course this requires you owning a few matching mags but it’s so much better than single round start points in a real scenario most people won’t be able to round count, if you shoot enough to run dry and need to keep shooting it’ll more than likely be a surprise to you, get used to needing to reload without expecting it.
My question is...what is that hes using to quickly cover up the shots on the cardboard? Looks like a price tag gun? Would really cut down on time at the range when repeating drills.
Im guilty on pistol reloads of having weird grips for second and follow up shots. Good thing i train for weird grip shooting. That shit will not fly for a rifle. Thanks for opening my eyes to a new thing here bud.
There's a few video issues I see as I watch. whole video looks like its shifted over to the right and then starts again on the left that should be on the right, at 3:36 and any mid-shot where Lucas is talking I see a sort of hue that looks like there is a second grayed Lucas that shouldn't be there. I'm not sure if its just my eyes deceiving me or my computer being weird. Love the video just saw those and thought I should say something about it.
In my opinion. The best thing you can do for speeding up reloading from your armor is don't. Run 1 or 2 mag pouches on your belt and when/ if you have the time while being engaged in a fight is to move the full mags from your vest to your empty pouches on your belt for future reloads. Obviously this only works when you have the "down time" to do so.
Good video, would like to see more AKs and longer range stuff like what you did with the Remington the other week. Maybe shoot an older drill like the rifle 10.
i learned in the army that if you are being timed, not to worry about it, we go under the pretense slow is smooth, smooth is fast. its better to get the reps in rather worry about speed, because if you are rushing you will fumble and it will cost you more than if you where taking your time.

That is why I have so much of respect and admiration for Lucas...genuine Legend
You could condense it to the saying: "If you're going to miss as much with the new mag as the old one, was the focus on reloads worth it?"
That would be boring by Trex arms.

7:34 5R5, 1R5, "something that requires good recoil management after the reload"
11:37 3R3 on the move between two spots, finish before getting to the 2nd spot (15m)
14:22 3R3 (preferably on paper) from 40m in a course of fire that runs through all your mags, for experimenting with kits. All mags are timed together (or break them apart to see which one's faster?). 3 shots, reload on kneeling, 3 more, prone, 3 more, reload **from prone** , stand up, 3 more again
17:52 barrier at 35-40m from USPSA target, 3 on one side of barrier, get behind cover and reload from belt/carrier/whatever, hop out other side kneeling (different posture than what you start with), 3 on same target from there
22:48 (if you don't have a place to live fire) place 2 sticks on the ground, start at 1, have a few targets to aim at ("more than 1"), aim your weapon at a target, move after getting a proper sight picture, run to 2nd stick, acquire the same target, "fire", repeat

What a Humble Man You Are ; to help some of us from the 1R1’s , n teaching us better ways that you came up with, to make sure we concentrate on the shooting aspects n it makes so much sence , n makes it more fun !!! Your closing comments about being creative with your training , is also great advice !!!! Thanks again Patrick from Commy Ct. !!!! 😷💥🔫
I love this!! I Definitely need to practice ALL OF IT! Great stuff man 👍🏻 I also dig those 4 runners in the background 😉 keep up the great videos Lucas. I have watched your older pistol shooting videos multiple times. Especially the one on “how to shoot a piston in 10 minutes” easily watched it more then a dozen times 😂
I like the concept of the drills. I’ve done 1R1 for carbine and pistol in the past.One thing for me is not always ending the drill with going to safe and dismounting carbine or going to holster for pistol,but going to trigger reset first.
Couldve used this video sooner! I was just out in the woods this afternoon, but when I do reloads, i use one mag w/ 2 rounds, and keep a full 30 round mag on my person. So I'll shoot a controlled pair, reload, and shoot another controlled pair. Thanks for posting this, very educational, learned something the Marines never taught me.
That's gonna be a long list. (shit the military doesn't teach)
@@brandonletsgo7979 dont even get me started haha
Classic shooting/range video from Lucas/TrexArms. 💪🏾 What we’ve been missing. Good info. Great shooting.
"This is 300 blackout too, I'm shooting at $20 a round"
sounds about right....WTF
I have started doing this myself I saw the same thing in my own shooting! Best video of your s I've seen so far
I really like the idea of 2R4. Still keeps the round count low and you get a bit of recoil control before the reload (you had time to get a good grip setting up) and a decent amount of recoil control after trying to get the next mag in and maybe not enough time to get the best grip
I run drills like these in buddy shoots with unknown quantities in the magazines plus some snap caps introduced randomly. It turns the speed test into a functional drill to actually assess if the platform is actually in need of a reload instead of simply counting x trigger pulls to a reload.
Thank you for showing people that still mess up and shoot at human speeds like the rest of us
One thing I love about the 1-and-1 is you reset it with a tac mag; arguably the most important reload to train.
Got my Ragnarok for Q4SF yesterday. Awesome quality works perfekt. Thanks and stay prepared. Regards from Germany 💪🏻
Thanks for the video, it is helping me with the speed of reloading magazines !!
Shots fired, forward observations
Hey Lucas you're pretty cool...but not forward observation cool 😎
Great concept, great topic I'm a big fan .... good tactical Instruction and execution of the rifle
regardless if you are guilty of it, you noticing it and correcting that as best you can! great piece of advice as well :)
I just have a big bag full of mags all loaded to random capacities, and some with snapcaps seeded randomly into them.
So as I'm shooting at any time I can either run dry, and reload, or have a "malfunction" and have to tap/ rack ECT and also make sure to properly identify the issue. Not counting any actual malfunctions that may occur (pretty rare tho, hence the setups for them)
Some mags may have 29, some may have 21 or 14 or even only 5-6 so it's entirely random and those reloads just pop up randomly.
Works well for me, helps with processing and diagnosing problems ect
Those are some great drills right there. Just wish I had a range like that out here vs static benches. Stuck with the back yard airsoft range and dry fire for now.
I love to watch this dude man
IF (middle word in life) you aren't counting your rounds and chamber goes empty ..... slingshot or slide / bolt release is a factor of time. As well dummy rounds simulating a jam or piss poor primer should be factored into training muscle memory speed skills in my experience . Great video....
Probably a dumb request, but it would be cool to have a video going through some dry-fire exercises.
I know its probably easy to explain, but its always nice to have a visual to go with it.
1R1s are just slightly expensive arm workouts at this point. Thanks for the new drills!
This guy's one of my favorites.
Great video! Always like seeing what you have. I’ve been going to 3 R 3 on both pistol and rifle. And with the cost of ammo I started using .22lr. Something else to use is airsoft or BB guns. You don’t have the recoil, but it’s good for sight alignment and trigger control.
This channel provides some of the best fainant details on building the proper neurological pathways for performance shooting. This is the process to The Craft of a professional shooter broken down to these fundamentals. Processing information, Running the gun, movement, and shooting with a harmonious balance between speed and accuracy while checking all work through yours sights (calling your shot) with consequences for a miss. So take notes.
Great video! Amazing instruction without having to watch an hour long video.
What is that thingy majingy at 1:33 that you guys are using to cover up the holes?! I NEED TO GET ONE!
Old video. But new to me. Since I am just now becoming a fan of T.REX. Anyways, what exactly are we training for? If my top priority is magazine changes for self defense then I might want to move to a safer place. I guess what I am getting at is; If I have 15 to 20 + pistol rounds and 20 to 30 rifle rounds. My training will be focused on ending the threat before needing a fresh magazine. Having said that I will still find time to train magazine changes. It will just be a very low priority. But God help us if America becomes that bad, I need to train on using more ammo.
I think your overall point is valid and well received. The 1R1 drill is really meant to be a specialized tool practicing a very niche specific technique and not anything more than that. If people are taking it as more than that then there's a problem.
I Do think it has a purpose and I think You're applying the technique in the wrong circumstances which is in part why you seem to think the drill is not useful.
Recall that this is practicing an emergency reload. Emergency reloads are conducted under duress and in exigent circumstances where time is of the utmost importance. The more proximate a threat is, and the more precise their fires, the more exigent the circumstance.
If a threat is at 100 or 200 or 300 yards, there's no reason to use this technique. Unless exposed in the open or taking extremely precise fire as previously stated.
So your criticisms of the drill not allowing you to practice good marksmanship and control are somewhat misguided. If you're in a fight that affords you the time to be extremely precise, then you have the time to use a different reload technique.
This technique is for the fight where you have no time.
Your other criticism seems to be that when conducting this drill at full speed you didn't get a proper grip on the follow-up shots. It would seem that that means the drill does not ingrain or give you the chance to practice good marksmanship. That's not necessarily the case either. If you're moving so quickly in the drill that you aren't maintaining good control over your weapon in the name of beating the timer, then you're moving too fast, period. That's not a problem with the technique that's a problem with you.
I think the emergency reload drill is an important thing to practice and it zeros in on a very precise skill. It shouldn't be done to excess or neglecting other drills that combine multiple techniques. But it also should be understood in the correct light and not judged based on situations and circumstances that it was not meant to be used in.
We use this in our training as well. Solid tip.
When I was in MARSOC we did something similar we would run a double tap drill with 3 targets different distance while moving back and forth between 3 postions. We would load each other's mags with a random amount of ammo and dummy rounds. It forces you to deal with random events
Amen. Glad you posted this
High-quality content, as usual. Keep up the good work.
Love the "Welcome to Chili's" intro, Lucas. 🌶
That Forward Observations slam though. ✌🏼😂
The key is to never have a problem with other people and just hone you’re own skills, unless you see something dangerous happening and then by all means save a life yo
Music at the end made me think of a new dynamic in some modern-day military game: have an enemy that your squad regularly engage with on battlefields, and he eventually picks off your teammates over the course of the game that you've 'bonded' with. Would make it very personal and intense, rather than some nebulous string-puller 'man behind the curtain' enemy you only interact with once.
Good good stuff! Thanks I'm learning little by little.
Eagerly awaiting the most anticipated T.REX video yet! The, “Stop paying all taxes” how to guide. 😉
You can stop paying taxes as long as you start a new business every 5 years or so...and invest or lose more money than you make at other endeavours....Simple.
Where’s the law that says you have to pay income taxes?
@@JEJAK_777 income taxes are unconstitutional, in addition it goes against the fundamentals of capitalism....each person owns their means of production (ie labor), therefore NO tax on your labor.
@@brandonletsgo7979 I’m so anti Communist I’m anti Capitalist, as Capitalism is the only thing that has enabled Communism to survive.
Pausing at 13:20 to comment, would marching band foot technique, rolling the foot, help with stability while walking/moving and shooting? Heel-toe? I'm interested to try it.
Yes
Yes. Anything that helps keep your gun from bobbing up and down is good if the goal is shooting and moving.
Hey Curtis! Am in law enforcement and carry a M4 carbine,what's the best scope for me...😮
Wait hold up. What was that little tape gun thing he was using to cover prior hits on the cardboard
I honestly almost didn’t click on this video. I’m really glad I did though. This video needed to be made.
As a LEO in South East Texas my nears back up is at least 10 mins away, so I carry a PMAG60 as my primary magazine for my patrol rifle and l have a standard PMAG with a TTI extended mag on my duty belt, I have extended TTI mag extensions for my duty mags. In my opinion TTI mag extensions make a great tool for reloads and carrying extra ammunition. As the firearms instructor for my department l convinced the department to carry extended magazines on duty.
sick video. I like the take on 5r5. Something interesting to me though is Lucas driving home having proper stock placement and guys like Mike Glover saying it doesn’t matter
All gun training is made up. Super qualified people will tell you exact opposites at some point.
There is no gospel absolute truth in gun fighting.
You really want proper stock placement, but pretty often times you won't be able to get it.
Same as good stance.
Strive to do it correctly, but sometimes out gotta make do without
Exactly right. If you want, do some 1r1 to get the fluidity of the reload down, but there's no need to run it every range session. If you're training as much as you should you get PLENTY of chances to train emergency reloads. But NEVER forget the tactical importance of the tactical reload!
I enjoy seeing a shooting video, like this one, that is all about shooting and not all about the shooter.
Take your mags load varying amounts into each, drop them all in a bag and shake it about. You now have a genuine reload training aid because you have no idea when that mag will run dry, you don’t get to preempt the reload and having to make multiple follow up shots will force you to adapt to go back to proper grip. Of course this requires you owning a few matching mags but it’s so much better than single round start points in a real scenario most people won’t be able to round count, if you shoot enough to run dry and need to keep shooting it’ll more than likely be a surprise to you, get used to needing to reload without expecting it.
My question is...what is that hes using to quickly cover up the shots on the cardboard? Looks like a price tag gun? Would really cut down on time at the range when repeating drills.
Someone at trex finally figured out how to change the color balance
I thought the trees looked different. Lemme find out if Desert Rats is trying something new!
Thank goodness, I can start watching again.
Im guilty on pistol reloads of having weird grips for second and follow up shots. Good thing i train for weird grip shooting. That shit will not fly for a rifle. Thanks for opening my eyes to a new thing here bud.
where do you get that thing he used to cover the holes in the target?!
Very educational. I enjoyed this
I was doing this the other day 1r1,then switched to 2r2 found it to be more challenging. I'll try 3r3 next, good idea
really like your drills
As always great training video. Different thoughts and views to train. Always practice.
Keep up the cutting edge info .thank you trex arms
There's a few video issues I see as I watch. whole video looks like its shifted over to the right and then starts again on the left that should be on the right, at 3:36 and any mid-shot where Lucas is talking I see a sort of hue that looks like there is a second grayed Lucas that shouldn't be there. I'm not sure if its just my eyes deceiving me or my computer being weird. Love the video just saw those and thought I should say something about it.
that faded color trap lord diss hit close to home
In my opinion. The best thing you can do for speeding up reloading from your armor is don't. Run 1 or 2 mag pouches on your belt and when/ if you have the time while being engaged in a fight is to move the full mags from your vest to your empty pouches on your belt for future reloads. Obviously this only works when you have the "down time" to do so.
We called it 1 round reloads in the 90s but I’ve always done them. Dry fire practice is just as useful in my opinion.
Good video, would like to see more AKs and longer range stuff like what you did with the Remington the other week. Maybe shoot an older drill like the rifle 10.
On a real note, where can I get that tape dispenser target hole cover upper thingy??????
i learned in the army that if you are being timed, not to worry about it, we go under the pretense slow is smooth, smooth is fast. its better to get the reps in rather worry about speed, because if you are rushing you will fumble and it will cost you more than if you where taking your time.
